Create a cozy, classic baby hat with this beginner-friendly ribbed crochet beanie pattern. The hat is worked flat in simple rows, seamed, and finished by gathering the crown—no working in the round required.

The stretchy ribbed fabric and fold-up brim provide a comfortable fit, while the straightforward construction makes this a relaxing project for newer crocheters. Instructions are easy to customize using the included sizing guidance, so you can make a tiny preemie hat, a newborn beanie, or adjust the pattern for a larger size.

• Clear written instructions
